A Guy’s ‘Joke’ Rant About Yoga Pants Backfires

A Rhode Island man who penned a letter to the editor complaining about women wearing yoga pants says it was meant to be humorous and he doesn’t have an issue with yoga pants. Alan Sorrentino said he hoped the letter published in the Barrington Times would be enjoyed as a break from the current political campaign rhetoric. Instead, the letter generated a huge outcry and a group of women say they’ll parade through Sorrentino’s neighborhood Sunday afternoon dressed in yoga pants. Organizers say the march is not a protest against Sorrentino but part of a bigger movement against misogyny and men dictating how women should dress. Sorrentino says the response to his letter was “vicious” and he’s received death threats. He asks marchers to stay away from his home.
